This area of our site is designed to help you produce
a practical and accurate paint specification.
Preparing a specification can appear a daunting task if you've
never produced one before, so you'll find step-by-step guidance
under Preparing
to specify. As well as advice on initial site surveys and
the identification of previous coatings, you'll also find detailed
supporting information and site work instructions. If you're
more experienced, you'll probably want to go straight to
DuSpec, a widely-used trade resource designed to help you
as an architect, builder or any other professional materials
specifier to generate painting specifications for all kinds
of building projects. Registration takes just a minute or two
and you'll then be able to create, save and amend all your specifications
in one central and secure location.
We also have an area dedicated to Colour
in paint specification, providing valuable information on
the use of colour and contrast to enhance the environment for
the visually impaired, plus guidance on the use of colour to
identify different services.
If you'd prefer to concentrate on your core business and put
the job of preparing a specification in the hands of experts,
we have a team of Specifier Account Managers who will be happy
to do the job for you.
Using DuSpec documentation as a painting specification on-site
The systems must be read in conjunction with the hard copy
of ICI Site work instructions which give essential guidance
to good painting practices. In order to achieve the optimum
results it is extremely important to adhere to the Systems and
Site Work Instructions quoted.
NBS subscribers only
Regular subscribers to NBS will be familiar with the unique
formatting system employed. DuSpec has been designed to work
closely with NBS in order that the minimum effort is required
to convert the coating systems into the Section M60 format.
